Summary
About a month after a severe bout of COVID that left her hypoxic (93% oxygen saturation), with high blood pressure, fatty liver and high insulin, Michelle began a water fast intended to run 21 days, with some dry-fasting stretches, under a coach's guidance. Her COVID symptoms briefly returned on days 4 and 9; on day 11 she switched to 250 kcal/day of juice to ease detox symptoms, and ended the fast early on day 17 for a business trip rather than from intolerance. Afterward she reported her cough and breathlessness gone, insulin down from 25 to 12, blood pressure back to normal and more energy, with the improvement still holding at a two-month check-in.
